Armed Forces

Newscast Media WASHINGTON—If one has never been in the trenches, or watched
the brains of his comrades spill on the ground, it is easy for one to make overtures
about starting wars. War is a very ugly undertaking, and Barack Obama said after
taking an evening walk, he had a change of heart about starting a new war without
the approval of Congress.

such attack.

This message is being articulated by GOP Congressman Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.)
who said he’s been hearing from the Armed Forces who have asked him to vote no
against military action on Syria.

“I’ve been hearing a lot from members of our Armed Forces, the message I

If the commander-in-chief doesn’t even have the support of his troops, that speaks
volumes about their state of mind and morale. Below are some of the tweets:
